Definitely worth the hype. Just wish I got one years ago when they were a little cheaper, had to pay a premium for mine 😭
Massive L
Ain’t no way a pwr UA-camr watch the same thing
The only thing that is overrated is the price these days.
facts
I could say the same about your mum poor boy who dosen't own a S15 "spoken with a boomer accnet"
I always get a bit emotional watching videos like these. Even just a year ago an S15 was just a dream that I was certain would stay a dream forever. Now I have my overpriced JDM shitbox of my dreams. 100% worth it.
So many people were saying I'm crazy spending new car money for a 22 year old car and importing it from other side of the world, but honestly if I couldn't have this car, I'd rather just ride a train and bus everywhere :D
Godspeed sir.
My brother got one in like 2009 for 5k, fml it was almost identical to this one. I wish I was old enough to buy it off him
S15 never over rated 🤝
100K or 60K is too much for a slow sport car
@@chevyls7189 i got a website that sells em 15-50k mint condition but you gotta import it
True but you can easily find ones that cost 17-16k or you can negotiate@@chevyls7189
Its terribly overrated

Great content there, Jordan.
I have had a couple of bad days having a sore throat even thrown up this morning.
Hope you're well, mate. Cheers, mate.
From William.
Mount Gambier, South Australia.
Thanks William, sorry to hear! Hope you feel better soon! 🙌🏻
@@ThatCarLife Thanks, mate.
Great video and car mate, well done. 🤠👍
Great review video Jordanian looks mad in 4K 😉
thank you this motivated me to work on s15 putting bigger turbo and cams
i love the video, and your car looks amazing!! only criticism is that i found the video to be a little bit dark, hopefully u guys can change that in the future! i was surprised that this channel has such a small subscriber count for a genuinely well-put together video, will def come back for more
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! Appreciate you sticking around! 🙌🏻
Killer vid bro, what mount did you use when the GoPro was facing you in the car?
Thanks bro! It’s a GoPro suction cup mount :)
I've always wanted a JDM care but very expsensive to buy and own, I'm aiming for my dad's Toyota Aurion 2009 Sportivo. It's got the 2GR-FE engine.
flames on stock tune is pretty cool.... guess its a combo of manifold back exhaust + blanking off the BOV.... computer is probably still injecting fuel for the expected extra air from the factory plumped in bypass valve... sick car man!
this review really does live up with the hype !
This is the only brand new car I've ever owned. Carbon paper blue Spec R.
Can’t wait to have my s15 spec r in Canada 😩
If you try an S15 out of the blue you will think it's ok-ish and that's it.
BUT if you come from S13/S14 ownership and then try an S15 your mind will be blown by how much the improvement compared to those other 2 is.
Just got my S15 from mainland Japan. You already put me on to some mods from this video. Just subscribed 💪🏽
At ikea is crazyyyyy we all know what you do after hours with this fun ass car
What a video!! 😍
Great video. I get my S15 this week! Can you give your opinion on the airflow with the modded Defi gauged air vents? Does the air conditioning suffer big time?
Thank you and congrats! That’s exciting! And yes there won’t be as much air flow as there would be with the vents, but yeah a decent amount still comes through!
Haven’t watched the vid yet I want one but for the price of these I can’t find one that’s doesn’t look like a jigsaw puzzle
I used to have one back in the day when they were 16-20grand. They are definitely fun cars to build as theres is a massive market for aftermarket parts and alot of parts from other s and r chassis can bolt straight on and are interchangeable which makes it fun. But to buy a stock one now for 40-60k you'd be a fool.
🧢🤣
@@therealkwamebrownbustlife Where's the lie?
@@jdmsnail2505 he never had one 🤣
@@therealkwamebrownbustlife? If you work and save up for a yr u can get 20 grand… as a 16 year old. why would he be lying and y are u trying to call him out?🤔
@@Jay-xl3ln cause I know him nugga he's cappin🧢🤣🤏🍌🤣
Idc what anyone says. The S15 is probably one of nicest aggressive cars I've ever layed my eyes on. Just because alot of people are starting to own one doesn't mean it's overrated. People like what they like not cause someone else has one. People talking sh*t are probably the one that still drive their girls car
More like one of a kind. What rwd car makes 250hp and is turbo? Which also weighs under 3000lbs
I love everything about the s15 apart from the tail lights. I think that all the other silvia tail lights look better especially the s13 and s13 hatch.
New game, have a shot of alcohol every time he says "live up to the hype".
Manual boost controllers (also known as bleed valves) I thought people stopped using those in like 2008 😂 It's mad that your car is still using one. The only reason people used those back in the day was because aftermarket ecu's were very expensive and most garages didnt have a scooby do how to map them anyways. And this is why you would see people's turbo'd cars with white/grey/blue smoke coming out their exhaust as without being properly mapped they would be running rich or lean.
You got a PS2 and a 6 disc CD changer in the boot as well? Maybe a Road Angel upfront?
S15s 100% live up to the hype! Their amazing cars bro! Loving the videos! 🔥🔥🙌
Thanks bro!! 🙌🏻🔥
remember. you can buy a dr30 rsx coupe for 20k less.
They're nice cars but at their current prices it's really hard to justify purchasing one, same thing with the r32 gtr
then dont own one the not going to get cheaper ,r grade de spec s 289000km bid in japan $16000, plus under socialist dickhead labor it more expesnsive to import cars
I haven't watched the video yet but I would like you to be careful with your words of my dream car
edit: seemed like you were very careful
great video mate
Have owned S14's for years and always wanted an S15 since high school and I must say after driving all S-chassis over the years it is by far the best. Maybe a little overratted but definiteyl a beautiful car!
Those backfire flames 🔥 the 😍😍
Yes. Sorry to people who missed out when they were 13k aud :)
Wouldn’t sell mine for less than 40k aud now!
i love the "put the boost up without a tune" fukn ay bro i do the same been telling myself get a tune for 2 years 😂😅 we would get so much more hp if we tuned our sr's haha farrkk
Nissan definitely needs to come out with a new Silvia with a naturally aspirated VQ. Basically it would be a non turbo Z, using the RZ34 chassis, just a 2+2 and smooooooth looking!
I had 2 s13 and one s14...IMO they are not worth the hype compared to what you can get for the same money now days...these car were cool when you could get them for 3-5k not for 30k.
I have not heard anyone hype the s15, only the s13 and to a lesser extent the s14.
How did you see the interior when need for speed does not have a cockpit view 3:24
He did say forza and gran turismo aswell which has cockpit views, hope this helps ((:
Also, could be NFS with mods
But… isn’t the flutter excess back pressure?
You have to understand the driving feel is what really counts.
Congrats on 5k subs bro!!! 🎉🎉
Thanks legend!! 🔥🙌🏻
The S15 has a beautiful - sexy looking design!
It’s worth the hype but it’s definitely not as overrated as certain other JDM car models!
I didn't even know they were hyped up lol
How much nowadays can it be insured for? If so which company and how much a year?
Out of the popular s chassis (13,14&15)
I like 14 the most
S13 hatch 2nd
S15 and s13 coupe tied at 3rd
But id have any
Not that anyone asked.
I like the s13 headlights the most. (big fan of the boxy square style).
s13 hatch body style the most
any tail lights except the s15 ones.
s15 drivetrain.
He shot a flame
Ultimate GLAZER!!! But for a good cause. Fuck yeah.
It's not overrated for sure
Changed the majority of the exterior but loves the exterior of the Silvia 🤔
That wing is fucked
@lenon noda these is for u
i've always thought that the s15 was a 00s-10s car
Definitely not. 😅
It’s a product of the 90s!
I mean just look at the car, not overrated...its overhated
It put in work in the looks and performance department all day
id say absolutely worth the hype been my dream car for a long time
One car I wished to have owned!
If its your dream car then its always worth it
most beautiful car in automotive history 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
As someone who’s had one for about 4 years. Yes it’s overrated espeically how much it costs now. Pre covid yes you could get a great S15 under 20k. Anyone who says it’s worth it now is looking at it through 2 fast 2 furious tinted glasses. Can’t really tell people that 20+ years of tech later is not as good as this
beautiful car, brother
Thank you! 🙌🏻
What is the price of this car?
depends where you are. here in nz i see them go for 30k-40k
@@viigaalapati9796 love this car
You've had the car for 6 years and your running a boost T with no tune yet you spent all that money on the giant rear wang and front bar FML no FUL. A nistune is cheap as chips! the SR20 is tough as nails but given how old they are now I would be getting the old girl tuned before paying for beauty mods.
I have s14 97 with sr20det s14 with s15 upgrades.
Nothing special
yes, next question.
Definitely Overrated .But dont mean I dont enjoy the S-Chassis.As a New S14 Silvia Zenki owner I love The car and Never giving it up.
My days that is clean…
No cars worth the hype really. The hype has made the cars worth too much for no reason but hype. The cars people have should only be worth something to them. Sentimental value not hype value
Not sure about over hyped but at the end of the day no 90s JDM car is really "worth" the price and this is coming some someone that wants to buy a S15 LOL
Sold mine for 13k years ago :( :( :(
Take s15 over any non gtr skylines.
only downside is the 6 speed
If you aren't pushing big power to need a 5 speed, the 6 speed is geared much better with the engine IMO than a 5 speed.
Didn’t even watched the vid, YES
This isn't in the same legue as the r34, supra, FD. (Which are all overrated, especially the supra and the r34). Nobody really cares when they see a Silvia, especially in grey.
These are lower tier, like 350/370/Evo/Gc8/s2000. All cool cars but way to overpriced at the moment due to overweight internet neckbeards. The stock cars are absolutely overhyped, the platform isn't though
r34 is the ugliest skyline. prefer r32 then r33. and mk4 supra is the ugliest supra. prefer mk3 then mk2 / celica supra. but people still prefer the others because they have more power. probably same with the silvia, might not be as fast but timeless design.
also ikea ?? wtf walmart better pretty mid ngl
no
All JDM are over hyped over priced and just the flavour of the month.
Nice cars don’t get me wrong but not worth the money.
Pretty sure people would rather JDMs over a supercar
Tune your car already cuz!
Still doesn't hold up against the R32 GTR.
Had Silvia's try keep up with me on mountains and even modified ones on the straights.. silvia only 400hp but couldn't pull away from stock power.. it was even but with me slightly pulling away.
I think they're cool cars but not worth the asking prices of today. Same goes for any legendary JDM car.
Almost like they are completely different cars for different purposes right?
drift cars mate
@@viigaalapati9796 if you don't know what you are talking about please refrain from typing, you look stupid.
Gtr = awd
S15= rwd
Everyone basically exclusively use rwd to drift.
Gtr isn't a drift car, it's a race car used for grip.
If you think 14psi is fun, try 38 🤣
Christ man, boost controller, intercooler, block off bov, bigger exhaust, no tune. Ridiculous, that poor sr20. Stop being cheap, you’ve owned the car for 6 years and haven’t bought a standalone?
I have a haltech ECU for it and some other power mods, just waiting to finish accumulating some last remaining parts and then she’ll finally get a proper tune and more power! But yes I agree I have left it quite late!
Wing is turrible
not ni-sin it's ni-san
🤓
Sorry but with this economy it’s overpriced
Yes, it's worth more than the hype coz where I'm at its not considered gay, hair dressers car
Since when is the Silvia considered "gay"? 😂
@@Kev27RSS13/14 only gays and woman drives it ..... Here is another hint ... u have watched FnF right? ....why u think the S14 they purposely let a woman drives it and the blue Maxima and yellow R33 GTR a bloke? 😁
@@princesssolace4337 What about those?
I never heard the Silvia models being considered "gay"…
@@Kev27RS u weren't born when the s13/14 were new, u don't live in a country where the term 'hair dresser car' meant gays and women who regularly drove it ..... S13/14 became popular when drift culture started and used s13/14 are dirt cheap bcoz its gay.
S15 on the other hand came out at the right time plus a 6 speed trans, a car with manual 6 speed will turn a gay car straight
S15s are over rated 😅
pretty mid supra better
No Silvia's worth the hype.
The performance with still being really economical is worth the mention, you dont get that with an Evo
r grade spec s de 289000 km in japan bid 1.55 million yen , they use to bid 1 milion yen a yr ago prices going up . spec r over 2.5 milion yen now and rgrade manual swap 2 milion yen
This is an actual JDM as it was made for the Japan domestic market. Too many people are calling any Japanese car a "JDM".
Huh! God's motor ! Ofcourse I thouraly agree 😉
